Thanks for the historical and factual information on the different dialling modes.
I can appreciate the frustration with having to dial non-value adding characters (in particular, leading 1's or 0's, or combinations there of).
I have set up my dial plan to emulate a local PSTN setup such that a user off the street could use my phone without being able to tell that they are using a VoIP connection.
In addition, I have also set it up to accept the shortest dialling modes for local or long distance (10 digit dialling due to overlays), international calling, and European style "00 + Country Code + etc".
This is the best compromise, I think.
